Eating out and visiting

 

Learning journal updates this week

 

The October week

It's been a great week - we visited Gran Hilary and Alisdhair in Campbeltown - we were followed there by the tail end of a hurricane - or as we used to know it in Scotland, a windy day.

There were many highlights of our short trip but the shower cubicle proved popular as did the piano.

 Probably Sophie's favourite thing was working in the kitchen with Gran to produce a chocolate cake - another of her favourite things was eating the aforementioned cake.

We visited Carradale as usual and we headed down to the beach on a very blustery day - the waves were high and the wind was fast but we had a laugh and even managed a paddle.

 

When we got home we continued to make the most of our time together - Sophie and Lauchlan have decided that pudding time is better down at the kids table.

 

We went for a visit to our favourite park and had a great time along with a brilliant lunch in a cafe - Lauchlan was very quiet drinking his apple juice. Yes, teeth were brushed afterwards.

Our vegetable adventures kind of peetered out when the summer ended back in May and we have hardly been in the garden since. However, Dad had to use five minutes of dry weather this week to put away garden furniture and we had a wee speculative look in our potato bag - we struck potato!

To finish our October week round up here are a couple of videos for you and another photo from our day out at Victoria Park.

Not too much to report this week

Not much to say this week other than  we all continue to have lots of fun - and we are looking forward to a wee roadtrip during the school October week next week.

Learning Journal updates - below are a series of updates from both of Sophie's nurseries - she continues to be a star and is making lots of friends.

 

 

growing up too fast

It is all starting to feel like everyone is growing up too fast - Lauchlan is getting really tall and trying to say more and more words - fish, toast, hot, shoes, and yes amongst others.

Sophie meanwhile likes dresses and pretty things and she was over the moon when Gran came back from holiday with a Flamenco style dress for her.

 Sophie also graduated this week into her new car seat - she was very proud of this as you can see from the photos.

Back to work tomorrow for Mummy - been a really great year and although it will hit everyone like a ton of bricks we will adapt again as always and we are already looking forward to the school October break to catch our breath. Hope everyone out there is doing well and hope to see you all soon.
